India’s
original super cop KPS Gill who led Operation Black Thunder in 1987 against
terrorists hiding in the Golden Temple, ever since, KPS Gill has been under a
terror threat. Now 25 years late, he is being hounded by Khalistani terrorists.
In an exclusive copy of an Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) note, which
specifically mentions that a California-based Babbar Khalsa International (BKI)
operative Manjeet Singh Gill has been tasked to target Gill. The report also
mentions that the militants have already identified places frequented by Gill.
The plot to target Gill coming to light, two months after Lieutenant General KS
Brar was attacked in London. He fought back and survived but has warned that the
threat against Gill cannot be taken lightly.

Brar, Operation Blue
Star Commander, said, “If intelligence agencies here got information about
someone they must from their sources find out where is this guy, how is he
operating and get in touch with the US Government that here is a fellow who is
supposed to be in California, these are the details we have and I am sure
intelligence agencies in America and their police would try and track down this
fellow. So that he is unable to attack Mr KPS Gill, the aim should be to get him
before he is able to get Mr Gill.”

But the man who always led
from the front remains unfazed about the Khalistani plot to target him during a
foreign visit. “I have been receiving threats since years. My security has
been beefed up and is vigilant. The Khalistani terror network is growing by the
day,” Gill, former DGP, Punjab, said. Ajay Sahni, Counter Terrorism
Expert, said, “Indian agencies should mandatorily inform and pressurise
Western agencies to provide fullest protection to any visitor who maybe seen to
be vulnerable or susceptible to attack and Western agencies should mandatorily
provide security.” Sources say MEA has alerted the US Government about the
BKI plot to attack Gill but it’s also for Indian agencies to go ensure
that Gill’s security is not compromised when he travels
abroad.
